MANILA, Philippines – A provision to postpone the 2010 presidential elections and extend the terms of office for all elective officials has been inserted into a House Resolution currently pending before the House committee on constitutional amendments.

This was revealed Tuesday by human rights lawyer Neri Colmenares, secretary general of the National Union of Peopleâ€™s Lawyers, as he belied earlier allegations by the pro-administration congressmen when they defended their proposals to amend the Charter.
